Live Rock Arrangement

[pyro]

Well, got my tank all setup, and was wondering if you guys see any future problems with my live rock arrangement. Also wondering if you beleive the tank has a good amount of live rock in it. There is a 10g sump below with a heavily restricted Rio 2100 return, 1" bulkhead, and an emperor 400.
Critisizms greatly welcome (trying to get everything as well set as possible now instead of later)

I see nothing wronge with the way you have your rocks and Its really up to you how much rock you want....If you make it a reef I would add a lot more.

I think I might go and buy some base rock and place it underneith the LR

 

[jimmy g]

Thats a good idea....Thats what I did for my tank. I have about 50 LBS of LR in my 29G and 30LBS is probably base rock.

in how long does base rock turn into live rock?

 

[pwnag3!!]

well my baserock is starting to turn reen and purple and its been there for almost two months.... i wouldnt consider that LR though. probably about 6 months for maximum benefit

hey thats a nice tank but if i were you i would add alot more LR no matter if you are goin agressive or reef.....i have about 40 pounds of LR in my 30 gallon and its perfect for Fish only

i would put an elbow with a strainer on the return bulkhead that way your water level will not show and fish wont get sucked into the hole.
